Naughty Jessie.

Jessie was kitten, little gray kit
ten, with soft fur and pretty, coaXing
ways. She had kind mistress, a good
home, and her little master loved her
dearly Every morning and evening
she had all the nice fresh milk she could
drink, and her saucer was never empty
all day long. She had pretty ball to
play with and a soft bed to sleep on,
but she also had great fault. She
would run away. All the people who
lived near knew Jessie and her
naughty tricks, and when they saw her
running off some one would bring her
home. She was rescued from all kinds
of dangers. Once her mistress found
her hidden in a piece of old stove-pipe,
while at each end a fierce dog waited to
seize her when she came out. She
would climb tall trees, and then new
for some one to take her down. And
she did not grow any wiser as she grew
older. One evening she slipped out at
the gate and ran quickly along the side
walk. No one noticed her, and sh
hurried on, until she found herself on
a street where she had never been be-
fore. She thought this very nice, so
she went more slowly, looking about,
and presently she saw a large house,
with a broad porch, on which were
ladies and gentlemen sitting and talk
ing. She thought this would be nice
place in which to rest awhile. She
but big black cat flew at her and
boxed her ears. eco away" said the
black cat, "you bad kitten, no one
wants you here" Jessie felt very
badly. No one had ever told her be-
fore that she was not wanted, and it
hurt her feelings. She went into the
street again and walked on, until she
saw another pleasant-looking house,
and thought she would call at it. But
as soon as she climbed over the fence
two dogs flew at her, and would surely
have killed her, had not their mistress
called them off. Poor little kittyl "
said the lady, "you must be lost. You
shall have some milk" So Jessie was
fed, and then she was put in the street
again, for the dogs would not let her
stay inside the gate. She was very
tired now and quite lost. How she
wished she had not run away! She
climbed up on a gate-post and sat down,
lOl SilC was wv LllCu W VAIN, anu SllN
was afraid she should never get home
again. But just then she heard voices,
and saw her dear mistress and little
master coming towards her. The moon
gave little light, so that it was not
quite dark, but they did not see her
and would have passed her. But she
gave little tired new, and then they
saw her and carried her home. She
was very glad to be put in her own soft
bed, and she slept soundly all night.
Perhaps you think this lesson cured
her of her naughty ways. l am sorry
to tell you that the very next day she
ran away three times.-Julia A. Sabine

A Cats Conclusions.

Gautier, French writer, had cat
who was accustomed to live in perfect
intimacy with him, sleeping at his feet
on the bed, dreaming on the arm of his
easy-chair, while he was writing, fol-
lowing him in his garden as he walked
up and down the long avenue, keeping
him company at meals and not unfre-
quently intercepting the morsel on the
road between the plate and the lips.
One fine day friend setting out on his
travels left his parrot in Gautier's charge
during his absence. The poor bird sat
discOnsolate on the top of his stand
while the cat stared at the strange
sight and tried to gather up all the
strays and waits of natural history
which she might have picked up on the
roof or in the yard and the garden.
Gautier followed her thoughts in her
large green eyes and read there clearly
the words, 1T must be a green
chickenn Thereupon pussy jumped
down from his writing-table and as
sumed in a dark corner the air of a
panther lying in wait for delicate
deer, crouching flat down, the head low,
the back stretched out at full length,
the elbows out and the eyes fixed i'm
movably on the bird. The poor parrot
had followed all her movements with
nervous anxiety; he raised his feathers,
sharpened his bill, stretched his claws
and evidently prepared for war. The
cat lay still, but Gautier read again in
her eyes, :" No doubt, though green, the
chicken must be good to eat" Sud-
denly her back was arched like bow
that is drawn, and with one superb
bound she was on the perch. The
parrot, seeing the great danger, lifted
up his sharp, eager voice, and screamed
out: " Have you breakfasted, Jack?"
The voice frightened pussy out of her
wits. A trumpet sounding in her ears,
pile of crockery breaking near her,
pistol fired close to her head could not
have frightened her more terribly. All
her ideas were overthrow. Her eyes
said clearly: "This is not a chicken;
this is gentleman" The cat cast an
anxious glance at her master, leaped
down in sheer terror and hid under the
bed, from whence no threat and no
caress could bring her out for the day.

WIZ Is III
That rheumatism and neuralgia are so
prevalent This question has not been
satisfactorily answered but it is certain
that these diseases are not only the most
painful but among the most common, and
some member Of nearly every family in the
land is the victim of one of these dread
tormentors. Ladies seem to be peculiarly
liable to neuralgia attacks, which, in the
form of neuralgia headache, pain in the
back, or nervous pains are of constant oc-
currence. Notuntil the discovery of Athlo-
phoros had any remedy been found for
either rheumatism, neura gia or nervous
headache, and they were generally con-
ceded to be incurable, but Athlophoros
has been proved to be not only "a certain
cure for these diseases, in all their varied
forms, but Il safe remedy. If, in the use
of Athlophoros, the bowels are kept freely
open, its success is certain, and to aid this,
Athlophoros Pills are recommended,
which, while providing the necessary
catharic, will be found to be valuable
aid to the action of the medicine. Athlo-
phoros is no experiment, it has been tested
and has proved its wonde rlul efficacy.
The Athlophoros Pills were originally
prepared as remedy for use in connection
with Athlophoros, for rheumatism and
neuralgia aud kindred complaints. Used
in connection with that remedy, they are
certain cure for either of these very COM
mon and distressing dis eases. They have
also been found to he an invaluable remedy
for any and all diseases arising from vitiated
blood or general debility. They are es-
pccally valuable for nervous debility, blood
poisoning, dyspepsia, distress after eating,
headache, constipation, loss of appetite,
and all stomach or liver troubles. For
diseases of women they are invaluable.
These pills are perfectly harmless and may
be safely used by adults or children.
Testimonials of those who have been
cured will be sent free on application.
Every druggist should keep Athlophoros
and Athlophoros Pills, but where they can
not be bought of the druggist, the Athlo-
phoros Co., l12 Wall St. New York, will
send either carriage paid on receipt Of
regular price, which is Sl.00 per bottle
for Athlophoros and soc. for Pills.

A Word About Catarrh.

" 1t is the mucous membrane, that wonderful semi
fluid envelope surrounding the delicate tissues of the
air and food passages, that Catarr makes its strong
hold Once established, it eats into the very ytas,
and renders life but long-drawn breath of misery
and disease, dulling the of hearing, tramme-
ing the power of speech, destroying the faculty of
smell, tanting the breath and killing the refined
pleasures of taste. nsidiously by creeping from
simple cold in the head, it assaults the membranous
lining and enveops the bones, eating through the
delicate coats and causing Inflammation sloughing
and death. Nothing short of total eradication will

simply prOcrastinated sufferings leading to a fatal
termination. SANFoRD'S RADICAL CURE, by m
